The distinct Hausdorff compactifications δX of a completely regular (Hausdorff) space X are in one-one correspondence with the admissible proximity relations δ on X, or alternatively, with the admissible totally bounded uniform structures for X. (See [1], [2].) Thus, δX is the Smirnov compactification of (X, δ). Generalized uniform structures for X will be described by means of pseudometrics on X (cf. [5], [7], [13]). Let where is in the proximity class π(δ) associated with (X, δ). Then a subset S of X is σ-discrete of gauge if , for all x, yS where xy.
